ZTT News: Art of Noise Get Close (to the Reissue)

July 29, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Another reissue in ZTT/Salvo's ongoing Element Series has been announced: the first full-length by The Art of Noise.

Earlier this year, ZTT expanded the group's debut EP, Into Battle with The Art of Noise, adding a host of vault content meant for their first album but ultimately scrapped. This album - featuring contributions by all five of the original Art of Noise collective (Trevor Horn, Paul Morley, Anne Dudley, Gary Langan and J.J. Jeczalik) - reprises "Beat Box" and "Moments in Love" from that EP, as well as "Close (to the Edit)," one of the best dance tracks based on a Yes song.

As for bonus content, there's much to offer in terms of audio and video: nine tracks taken from two BBC sessions recorded in 1984 and 1985 (including a version of "Beat Box" "which morphs, only this once, into 'Video Killed the Radio Star'") and a DVD of rare videos, unreleased live performances and a two-part documentary. (Unfortunately, Amazon's U.K. pre-order page states that the DVD is PAL-encoded, making it hard to play if you're in the U.S.).

The package is available on September 5 in the United Kingdom. Order it at Amazon here and hit the jump for full track details.

A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
